The Adventure

Chapter 17

(Before the story begins I would like to say that I am very sorry it took so long for me to write this chapter and there might be a few triggering things in this and I'm sorry if that happens to anyone because that was not the intention when I was writing this chapter. I hope you enjoy this chapter and I'd like to give a big thank you to everyone that has read this story so far! <3)

As I woke up I yawned then stretched, I looked around and my eyes landed on Noah then a smile found its place on my face. I got up and made my half of the bed then I changed into a grey button up and black jeans then I went downstairs and made some coffee and tea, Alex came downstairs and I chuckled as he sat down. "Your up late, did you have fun?", he glared at me and shot a little bolt of lightning my eye. It hit my arm and I growled, "That hurt you butthead!" he chuckled and I got up then handed him a cup of coffee then I got some tea. Ryan came down the stairs and sat beside Alexs chair then hugged his legs and I chuckled then cleaned out my cup and took Noah a cup of coffee.

I opened the door and smiled, he was still sleeping but now he was cuddling a pillow. I sat beside him and hummed, "Noah, it's time to wake up." he groaned and put the pillow over his head. I gently shook his shoulder to wake him up then he grabbed onto my arm, I put the cup on the bedside table then he pulled me down beside him and we cuddled for a few minutes. I sighed and sat up then he sat up and he yawned, I handed him the cup "I made you coffee."

He smiled happily and drank it, "Your going fishing with me today ok?"

He sighed, "Eli, I suck at fishing."

"That's ok, I just don't want to be alone when I go." he nodded then I went downstairs and sat with Alex on the couch. "Noah and I are going to go fishing, I thought you should know so you don't worry."

"Get you some Eli!" I blushed and looked at him like he was crazy. "Oh no, don't give me that look! It's obvious that you both like each other! Besides he sucks at fishing and why would you ask him if he sucks at fishing to go fishing with you unless you like him?"

"Shuch up you butthead." he chuckled then Noah came down the stairs and he had my fishing stuff with him. I looked back at Alex and he winked at me then I blushed and we left to go to the river, after we arrived I smiled happily and looked at the water. The sun was shining on the water and it cast beautiful crystal blues and greens on the trees, then we sat on the sandbank and I started fishing. Noah layed on the grass then closed his eyes, I hummed and got up then went over to get a flower off a nearby tree.

~Noahs p.o.v~

I opened my eyes and looked around, I couldn't see Eli and I started to panic a little then I stood up and looked around. I looked around and saw Eli on the ground then I felt a sharp pain in the back of my neck and I was soon covered in a blanket of darkness.

~2 days later and now its Elis p.o.v~(Sorry for so many p.o.v changes<3)

I woke up and groaned, I shook my head and waited for my eyes to adjust to the darkness. I looked up at my arms and pulled slightly, my hands were chained to the wall and they were cold and heavy. I looked around and saw a body chained to the wall in front of me and he seemed to be unconscious, I looked around and saw another body laying on the ground. I looked closer at the body and saw slow deliberate breaths but she wasn't chained to the floor or to the walls like Noah and I was, I looked back to Noah and saw that his breathing had quickened signaling that he was awake. He looked around frantically and after a minute or two I guess his eyes finally adjusted and then his eyes landed on me, "Eli?! Where are we?!? What's going on?!"

I groaned as I realized my throat was so dry, "T-The Liche King has us, he was tracking us and I'm so sorry that I've dragged you into this."

"I-Into what? What have I been dragged into?!"

"When your brought back to life by The Blood Ruby you can't feel pain anymore, physical pain is not existent. The only way to torture someone is for the person that brought you back to life to torture you or....-"

"Or what Elijah!"

"...Or torture someone there close to, someone they love. In this case that's you." he was completely silent. I looked to him and heard small whimpers escape his lips and I felt my heart break into a million tiny pieces. "Don't worry! I'll get us out of here!"

I heard a low dark chuckle then a shadowy figure walked out of the shadows and stalked close to me, "It is lovely to see you again Elijah, sad it's under such sad circumstances though." A few tears escaped my eyes as I looked up to see The Liche King, "Now I'm sure you know what has to happen so lets not waist time and get straight to it then!"

He walked towards Noah and pulled out a dagger, "Please....no" Noah whimpered and my father took the dagger and made a small cut on his cheek. I pulled at the chains keeping me in place and Noah groaned, then father took the dagger and made a three inch cut across Noahs forearm.

"For every sound you make I'm adding another cut." I looked up and tears were cascading down my face at this point then he began to make deeper cuts on Noahs chest.

"STOP, PLEASE STOP! JUST TORTURE ME OR KILL ME BUT PLEASE DON'T HURT HIM!!" he chuckled and walked over to me then he dragged the dagger across my cheek and used it to point at the body on the ground.

"You want to end up like my so called wife.-"I shuttered as he practically spit the word with venom"-she helped you and now this is what that bitch gets. She died trying to protect you and now I'm going to torture you and the one you saved!"

He left after he said that then I cried again and looked at Noah.

"Noah, are you ok? Please speak to me!"

"Eli...please make the pain go away...."my heart ached with the pain laced in his voice then he passed out. I looked towards the body laying on the ground and I felt my heart break even more, she was a great mother and all she wanted to do was protect me. I caused this,"Mother...I-I am so sorry."

I looked at the figure and cried, I came to love her as if she were my actual mother and we grew very close. ".....n-not your.....fault" I stopped crying and stared at the figure, surely she couldn't have said anything....right? He said she was dead, "M-Mother?"

I saw the body very slowly rise up and come closer to me then she collapsed at my feet, "I'll kill that bastard mother! I promise you." Her breathing quickened as if she had just run a marathon, she slowly sat up then carefully stood up and leaned against me then she took off my belt and tore off the metal piece and used it to unlock my chains. My hand fell to my side then she collapsed again and her breathing slowed, she was unconscious now so I grabbed the metal piece and unlocked my other hand. I ran over to Noah and uncuffed him then he fell to the ground and I took him to my mother and layed them in the shadows.

As I was finishing I stayed beside them then the door opened and my father walked in and was carrying what seemed like...a whip, he walked towards the chains and cursed loudly then I ran up behind him and jumped onto his back. He started spinning in a circle trying to grab at me but I held onto him tightly and grabbed the dagger from his belt, I pinned him to the ground and started stabbing him in the back. He yelled in pain then I turned him over and stabbed him in the chest repeatedly, his breathing started to slow then I stabbed him in the head, "COME BACK FROM THAT YOU FUCKER!"

I ran to mother and Noah and put one on my back then put the other in my arms and I ran.
